Flover.CM – Condition Monitoring
Condition monitoring involves monitoring a set of parameters that define the condition of machinery or equipment with the objective of identifying significant changes that indicate a potential fault or inefficiency. Condition monitoring is frequently used by maintenance teams to monitor the actual condition of an asset and to extract information regarding actual wear and degradation. Devices such as vibration sensors or power monitors are used to obtain the data required to identify abnormalities.
The most common goals of condition monitoring systems include:
- Decreasing maintenance costs
- Moving teams to condition-based maintenance
- Saving costs on prematurely changed resources
- Improving downtime response
- Flagging inefficiencies
Data collection from sensors and devices
- Sensors and actuators
- IMS – Intelligent measurement systems (electricity, water, gas, technical gases)
- PLC – Programmable logic controllers
- CCTV camera systems and other security systems
- Sensors for the presence of hazardous substances (COx, SOx, NOx, CH4, Pm10, Pm5, volatile hydrocarbons, etc.)
- HVAC and lighting control systems
- Elevators and escalators
- And many more
Data collection from information and control systems
- Control systems
- SCADA systems
- ERP, MES, PLM, BMS, CRM
- Web / Mobile / Cloud applications
- Attendance systems
- Databases
- And many more
Dashboard
Dashboard is a unified and flexible environment for data visualization and information sharing.
Displayed parameters – measured values:
- Current status of measured values
- Current status of monitored devices
- The status and trends of the devices on the timeline
- Alarms and warnings
- Current and average energy consumption of individual devices
- The current status of the devices can be monitored on a map.
- The current state of individual devices can be monitored on the floor plan of buildings.
Support for decision making processes
Flover.CM includes the notifications system, which ensures to send of notifications about the status of monitored equipment and operational infrastructure in the selected form (e-mail, SMS, or other). Alarms are sent mainly when a critical state of individual monitored devices occurs. The notifications system administration interface is available, where it is possible to assign notification events to the individual users based on their roles or location.
Benefits
Based on data from the monitoring of events, management and employees will get an overview of the current status and overall operational efficiency and availability of monitored systems. This will allow them to focus on solving the actual problems. The solution can be easily extended with other monitored devices and applications. Flover.CM can augment and eventually replace legacy control systems or SCADA systems.
